Trip to Uvalde, TX to see Family

So this last week the whole family piled in the car and we headed south to Uvalde to visit Chad's parents. Samuel does not really travel that well, so it was an interesting drive full of screaming from him and Jeremy being upset that Samuel was crying while he was trying to watch his show.

On Saturday I headed to a baby shower for our cousin Brea with my mother-in-law Elizabeth and Aunt Leslie Kay. (Leslie Kay has cancer and just finished her last round of chemo.)

Brea is having her 4th baby and her 3rd girl. Seeing all those adorable little clothes and shoes made me want a little girl. How sweet all the gifts were. It was so much fun talking with them and listening. Aunt Debbie said that we should take the thank you Brea gives us right now as the only thank you we would receive. Everyone had a good laugh over that. Then Brea opened her first gift and inside were thank you notes. Everyone started laughing again and making suggestions on how to use those, like passing out the blank ones as everyone leaves or having everyone write their own address on the envelopes and then she would just write thank you inside and send them on.


On the way home we stopped at Grandma Doc's grave to see how it looked and talk about what needed to be done.


Then it was off to Lyndzie's new house. There is a lot of work that needs to be done there. My sister-in-law and her husband are buying the house as a fixer upper. Chad is going to go and help them this summer. Dillon was going to grill us some steaks, but Chad ended up doing it. The plan was to use wood to grill the steaks, but that was wet. Chad did end up getting it working and the steaks were very tasty. All in all it was a wonderful day.


We left for home on Sunday afternoon and then Jeremy's friend Henry came to stay the night. We set up a tent and they had a lot of fun. They decided the best use for it was to have it at the end of the bed and jump from the bed into the tent. They did that over and over again until one head and one mouth hit. Jeremy's front tooth is now looser.
